RATAMA PARK RACE || 1100 miles from Churchill Downs where the running of the 144th Kentucky Derby was, $1.2 million dollars was won by Margaret Reid.

“It was an amazing feeling yes, that you won really big, like a really big ticket,” winner Margaret Reid told CBS San Antonio affiliate KENS-TV.

Reid won a “Pick 5,” in which bettors have to choose the winner of five races in a row. She rightly chose Limousine Liberal, Maraud, Funny Duck, Yoshida and Derby winner Justify.

The lucky lady, who has been going to the Retama Park Race Track in Selma for years with her friends, said she did her homework to figure out the carefully placed wager.

“It doesn’t always work out, but sometimes it does,” she said.
